I have been getting alot of inquiries about the Lund Screenfront grill insert and don't mind taking the time to answer questions but I figured I would post the pictures on the site of how the insert looks. The pictures were taken with the grill shell removed from the truck. The screenfront comes in black from Lund and can be painted to match your vehicle. No drilling/cutting required for this insert. Feel free to ask any questions. I don't mind helping out fellow members! (Sorry but the TRD emblem does not come with the grill insert)

K&N installed. WOW! What a difference! With the filter and the TRD exhaust it sounds fantastic. Throttle response is much better as well.

Put the TRD exhaust on today. Has a nice tone to it especially after it warms up. Not loud but not soft either. Just a nice growl to it when you step on the gas. Happy with it and is covered by Toyota if anything happens to it. Can definetly feel a difference in power!

With getting tired of cutting up my fingers washing between the bumper and skid plate and to cover over the rough edges I bought a roll of door edge moulding and placed around the edges of the skid plate. Not only protecting my fingers but giving it a smoother look.
